SuperChamps – Round Six

Daytona Sandown Park

Round Six of SuperChamps at Daytona Sandown Park delivered yet another competitive morning of racing. With kart rotations throughout the Heats, consistency and race craft proved just as important as outright pace as drivers battled for class honours across the SODI and DMAX categories.

The SODI Light category was fiercely contested from the outset, with less than two tenths of a second covering the leading four drivers in Practice. Indy Welch topped the session, narrowly ahead of Frederic Navarro, Caesar Chen and Daniel Harman, highlighting the depth of competition throughout the field.

As the Heats unfolded, Frederic Navarro established himself as the driver to beat. After charging from the midfield to victory in Heat One, he repeated the feat in Heat Two, steadily working his way through the field despite the kart rotations. Indy Welch also produced a series of impressive recovery drives, including climbing from eleventh to second in the second heat, while Jake Panter gained eight positions in the same race. The racing remained highly competitive throughout, with numerous battles and incidents requiring race control intervention as drivers fought for every position. The Final provided a fitting conclusion to the category. Navarro completed a clean sweep of the day, leading from start to finish while also setting the fastest lap of the race. Behind him, Sarah Telford delivered a measured and calculated drive to work her way towards the front, while Indy Welch remained a constant threat throughout. Daniel Harman secured another strong result after maintaining competitive pace across all three races. Further back, Sid Stubbings continued a recurring theme of the day with another impressive recovery drive through the field before late-race incidents affected his finishing position.

The SODI Heavies category produced similarly competitive racing. Heat victories were shared between Dylan Firth and Michael Herm, with the smaller field placing a greater emphasis on consistency and tyre management throughout the morning. Harrison Fullerton-Craske remained firmly in contention across both Heats and carried that momentum into the Final. In the Final, Fullerton-Craske secured victory to cap off a strong and consistent performance. Dylan Firth finished second, while Michael Herm completed the podium to round off the class honours.

The DMAX category delivered some of the closest margins of the day. In Lights class Practice, less than four tenths of a second covered the leading four drivers, with James Callan narrowly ahead of Thomas Williams, George Lawlor and Adam Palmer. The competitive nature of the field continued throughout the heats, with Adam Palmer and James Lockhart sharing the victories. Lawlor emerged as one of the standout performers of the morning, recovering from setbacks and repeatedly working his way through the field to secure strong finishes. The Final saw Lawlor complete the strongest overall performance of the category. Having fought his way through the order during the Heats, he carried that momentum into the Final to secure victory. Adam Palmer finished second after another competitive display, while Fin Ions completed the podium in third.

The DMAX Heavies category was equally competitive from the start, with William Tidnam narrowly edging Tom Brown at the top of the practice timesheets. The pair continued their battle throughout the Heats, sharing the victories between them, while Mikhail Sitnikov enjoyed a productive morning with back-to-back podium finishes. Compared to the Lights, the racing was generally cleaner, although traffic from the larger field occasionally influenced the outcome of several battles. Tidnam capped off a highly consistent morning in the Final, securing another victory to underline his pace throughout the event. Ryan Hailey produced one of the drives of the day to claim second place, while Sam Roy completed the podium in third.

Round Six ultimately belonged to several standout performers. In the DMAX class, William Tidnam’s consistency and outright speed made him the benchmark in the Heavy category, while George Lawlor’s recovery drives and race management secured top honours in the Lights. In SODIs, Frederic Navarro proved untouchable throughout the morning, converting strong pace into victories in both Heats and the Final to complete one of the most dominant performances of the season so far.

Daytona Milton Keynes

Round Six of SuperChamps at Daytona Milton Keynes produced plenty of close racing across both SODI and DMAX divisions, with several drivers carrying strong Heat performances through to the Finals.

In the SODI Lights class, Zachary Smith made the perfect start to the day in Heat One, taking victory after building a four-second advantage over Lewis Bowey. Eduard Dorofte secured a well-earned third place to complete the podium. Heat Two produced a different winner as Aston Tempany-McColm delivered an impressive drive to claim victory. Behind him, Smith and Benjamin Barath were locked in a fierce battle for second position, with Smith eventually prevailing to finish five seconds behind the winner. Barath had to settle for third after an entertaining contest. The SODI Lights Final provided one of the standout battles of the day as Smith and Bowey fought throughout the race for victory. Neither driver could break away from the other, but Smith held firm under relentless pressure to take the win and complete an outstanding day. Bowey finished a close second, while Dorofte returned to the podium with a strong third-place finish.

The SODI Heavies category was dominated through the Heats by Lee Robson, who immediately established himself as the driver to beat. Robson controlled proceedings in Heat One and crossed the line nine seconds clear of Harry Fenton in second place. Heat Two followed a similar pattern, with Robson once again demonstrating his pace and consistency to maintain his unbeaten run through the Heats. Fenton again secured second place as he kept himself firmly in contention heading into the Final. The momentum swung away from Robson for the first time in the SODI Heavies Final. Fenton produced a superb drive to snatch victory and deny Robson a clean sweep of the day. At the chequered flag, just three tenths of a second separated the pair after an intense battle at the front, with Robson forced to settle for second place.

The DMAX Lights category opened with Jacob Csepreghi taking a commanding Heat One victory. Freddie Burden secured second place after a strong drive, while Dawid Sniezko completed the podium in third. Sniezko responded in Heat Two with a victory of his own, leading home Charlie Csepreghi in second. Burden continued his consistent run of results by adding another podium finish in third place. Carrying his momentum from the second Heat, Sniezko delivered another impressive performance in the DMAX Lights Final. He secured victory to cap off an excellent day, while Jacob Csepreghi finished second and Burden added yet another podium finish to his tally with third place.

The DMAX Heavies category produced some of the closest racing of the event. Heat One saw Freddie Jenkins emerge victorious after crossing the line just two tenths of a second ahead of Peter Stockwin. Harry Thrower was never far behind, taking third place only five tenths further back. Heat Two brought another intense battle between Jenkins and Stockwin, with the pair trading positions throughout the race. When the dust settled, it was Stockwin who came out on top, edging ahead of Jenkins for victory, while Thrower once again completed the podium in third. The Final saw Stockwin complete a dominant afternoon. Having steadily built speed throughout the event, he controlled the race from the front and secured a convincing victory. Thrower improved on his earlier results to finish second, while Jenkins rounded out the podium in third after another competitive performance.

Daytona Tamworth

With just three rounds remaining in the SuperChamps season, everything was still to play for at Daytona Tamworth as drivers took to the International circuit for Round Six. The heats format once again produced a highly competitive morning of racing, with several championships still hanging in the balance.

The N35-ST Lightweight category proved extremely competitive throughout the Heats. Noah Johnson and William Cresswell each claimed a Heat victory, but neither driver was able to establish themselves as a clear favourite. The closely matched nature of the field meant the Final remained wide open, with several drivers appearing capable of taking victory. That competitiveness carried through to the class’ Final, where Johnson strengthened his championship challenge with another important victory. It was far from straightforward, however, as Joseph Smith kept him under pressure throughout the fifteen-minute race. Behind them, William Cresswell and Cory Powell remained firmly in contention as the leading group battled for position. In the end, Johnson held his nerve to take victory by just four tenths of a second. The battle behind was equally intense, with only one and a half seconds separating the top four at the chequered flag. Powell secured the fastest lap of the race on his way to third place, narrowly edging ahead of Cresswell to complete the podium.

The N35-ST Heavies category saw James Stevenson emerge as the standout performer during the Heats. A victory and a second-place finish established him as the driver to beat, while Caelan Wilson remained his closest challenger heading into the Final. Few were surprised to see Stevenson convert that form into victory in the Final. Delivering another dominant performance, he crossed the line eleven seconds clear of the field while also setting the fastest lap of the race. Wilson secured second place after another strong drive, although Anthony French remained within striking distance and finished just two seconds behind in third.

The DMAX Light category was similarly difficult to call throughout the Heats. While Harry Thomas looked particularly strong, he was unable to convert his pace into a Heat victory. Instead, the morning suggested a closely contested battle between Thomas, Jake Garrett and Jude Lillyman heading into the Final. The Final more than lived up to expectations. Thomas and Garrett produced an intense battle for victory, with Thomas eventually prevailing by just six tenths of a second. The margins throughout the leading group were incredibly tight, with only nine tenths of a second separating the top three at the finish. Lillyman completed the podium in third place to keep his slim championship hopes alive. Reflecting just how evenly matched the field was, all three drivers recorded fastest laps within a tenth of a second of one another.

In the DMAX Heavies category, Demetri Wade emerged as the driver to watch during the Heats and carried that momentum into the Final. Wade secured victory after a closely fought contest with Luke Mallard, with only five tenths of a second separating the pair at the chequered flag. Mallard set the fastest lap of the race on his way to second place, while Finlay Stewart remained firmly in the battle throughout and completed the podium in third. Continuing the trend of close racing throughout the morning, just eight tenths of a second covered the top three finishers.

With the championship entering its final stages, Round Six delivered another closely contested event at Daytona Tamworth. Noah Johnson and James Stevenson strengthened their positions in the N35-ST categories, while Harry Thomas and Demetri Wade emerged victorious in two fiercely competitive DMAX finals.
